Which is more developed, Shenzhen or Guangzhou?

If you like many tall buildings and a new feeling, Shenzhen is more suitable for you. Guangzhou is more people-friendly, more urbanized and older.

As far as comprehensive strength is concerned, Guangzhou is currently the alpha (international first-line weak city) selected by GaWC. Shenzhen is a beta (international second-tier) city. The country has different positioning for Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Guangzhou is the southern gate of China and one of several national central cities. At present, Shenzhen is positioned as the economic growth pole of South China.

Humanely, Lingnan culture in Guangzhou still persists, and both Cantonese and Mandarin are very popular. Shenzhen is a person from all corners of the country. Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine and Chongqing cuisine are most commonly spoken in Mandarin.

On history and culture, Guangzhou, as a thousand-year-old city, suffered greatly from Shenzhen. After all, history and culture are not a chore.

As far as education and medical care are concerned, Guangzhou is the political, military, cultural, educational and medical center of South China. In education and medical care, Guangzhou has gathered a large number of excellent primary schools, middle schools, universities and university-affiliated hospitals. Shenzhen has also realized that the quality of its colleges and universities is far behind the current urban development in Shenzhen, so it has also vigorously attracted famous schools from all over the country to set up branches or campuses in Shenzhen.

From the perspective of economy and wages, Shenzhen, which has a very high economic growth in South China, has surpassed Guangzhou. Although the most profitable CBD in China is in Guangzhou, CBD is only in Zhujiang New Town, and the economic structure of other districts is relatively solid. Guangzhou has been dominated by foreign trade for thousands of years, and its private economy is too large, which is its advantage and its resistance to industrial upgrading and economic transformation. Shenzhen, on the other hand, followed the instructions of the central authorities and completed the economic transformation, engaging in high-tech, artificial intelligence, finance and other industries.

There is not much difference in the pressure, breadth and depth of life. Behind high wages is actually high prices.

If you plan to buy a house, the house price in Guangzhou will be more close to the people. Guangzhou municipal government has made great efforts to suppress housing prices in Guangzhou. Among the four first-tier cities in China, Guangzhou's housing price is relatively cheap compared with the other three, but this relatively cheap price is actually not low.

Although Shenzhen is called Shenzhen, its registered population is almost half that of Guangdong. High housing prices scare the floating population. Most people make money in Shenzhen and then go back to their hometown.

Shenzhen is a very young city, not only because it has been established for a short time, but also because its average age is over 30 years old, because the vast majority of migrants left after making money and did not take root in Shenzhen. This is not to say that Shenzhen is not good, but that the land price and housing price in Shenzhen are too high for most migrants to bear, so they go back to their hometown after making money. On the contrary, this situation will help Shenzhen to avoid the aging population. Shenzhen's high salary can continuously attract young people and maintain Shenzhen's young labor force. Guangzhou has a large registered population, which naturally avoids the problem of population aging, but it may be beneficial for Guangzhou to explore whether it is necessary to improve the social planning and management welfare of caring for the elderly.
